HP MSR2000/3000/4000 Router Series IP Multicast Configuration Guide

53
• A static member interface does not respond to queries that the IGMP querier sends. When you
configure an interface as a static member or cancel this configuration on the interface, the interface
does not send any IGMP report or IGMP leave message without a request. This is because the
interface is not a real member of the multicast group or the multicast source and group.
Configuration procedure
To configure an interface as a static member interface:
Ste
p
Command Remarks
1. Enter system view.
system-view N/A
2. Enter interface view.
interface interface-type
interface-number
N/A
3. Configure the interface as a
static member interface.
igmp static-group group-address
[ source source-address ]
An interface is not a static member
of any multicast group or multicast
source and group by default.
Configuring a multicast group filter
To restrict the hosts on the network attached to an interface from joining certain multicast groups, you can
specify an ACL on the interface as a packet filter so that the interface maintains only the multicast groups
that match the criteria.
To configure a multicast group filter:
Ste
p
Command Remarks
1. Enter system view.
system-view N/A
2. Enter interface view.
interface interface-type
interface-number
N/A
3. Configure a multicast group
filter.
igmp group-policy acl-number
[ version-number ]
By default, no multicast group filter
is configured on any interface.
Hosts attached to an interface can
join any multicast group.
NOTE:
If you configure the interface as a static member interface for a multicast
g
roup or a multicast source and
group, this configuration does not take effect on the multicast group or the multicast source and group.
Adjusting IGMP performance
Before adjusting IGMP performance, complete the following tasks:
• Configure any unicast routing protocol so that all devices are interoperable at the network layer.
• Configure basic IGMP functions.
